The Aussie Bird Count is a nationwide event that happens every year from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 October 2023 during National Bird Week.
Did you know that in the 2022 Aussie Bird Count, the rainbow lorikeet was the most counted bird for the third year in a row?
People of all ages are encouraged to go outside and count how many birds they can see in a 20-minute period – whether that’s in your garden, the local park or your favourite outdoor space.
Collecting this data at the same time each year helps BirdLife Australia:
- see how bird populations are changing in our community over time
- provide a snapshot of Australia’s more common bird species.
It’s also a fun way to observe nature, which is proven to benefit your mental health and wellbeing.
